Whereas, The Governor submitted to the Legislature the
Executive Budget Document, dated January 8, 2014, which included a
statement of the State Fund, General Revenue, setting forth therein
the cash balance as of July 1, 2013, and further included the
estimate of revenues for fiscal year 2014, less net appropriation
balances forwarded and regular appropriations for the fiscal year
2014; and

Whereas, The Secretary of the Department of Revenue has
submitted a monthly General Revenue Fund Collections Report for the
first six months of fiscal year 2014 as prepared by the State
Budget Office; and

Whereas, This report demonstrates that the State of West
Virginia has experienced a revenue shortfall of approximately $81.5
million for the first six months of fiscal year 2014, as compared
to the monthly revenue estimates for the first six months of the
fiscal year 2014; and

Whereas, Current economic and fiscal trends will result in
projected year-end revenue deficits, including projected shortfalls
in Personal Income Tax, Consumer Sales and Use Tax, and Interest
Income; and

Whereas, Projected year-end revenue surpluses in various other
General Revenue sources will only offset a small portion of these
deficits; and

Whereas, The total projected year-end revenue deficit for the
General Revenue Fund is estimated at $60 million; and

Whereas, The Constitution of the State of West Virginia
requires that there be a balance between the State's revenues and
expenditures for each fiscal year; and

Whereas, On December 17, 2013, the Governor issued a memorandum
to Cabinet Secretaries implementing temporary restrictions on
general revenue funded hiring to help reduce expenditures and close
the anticipated budget gap in fiscal year 2014; and

Whereas, On January 3, 2014, the Governor, after careful
analysis of fiscal year 2014 spending trends to date, issued
Executive Order 1-14 to effect a spending reduction of targeted
appropriation to aid in the balancing of the fiscal year 2014
budget; and

Whereas, This spending reduction is expected to generate a
savings of approximately $33 million; and

Whereas, There is remaining an expected $27 million deficit in
the budget that must be balanced; therefore

Be it enacted by the Legislature of West Virginia:

That the balance of the funds available for expenditure in the
fiscal year ending June 30, 2014, to the Joint Expenses, fund 0175,
